BronyMedic:Theeng: the_rev: Grand_Moff_Joseph: Grand_Moff_Joseph: cookiefleck: this episode is entitled "Games Ponies Play" on my uverse... So will the princess coronation actually be the last episode?

last episode? This show's nearly over already??? :(

ok, nvm...I found another link that explained that it's the season 3 finale.

/yay pony!

Yeah, I don't think Hasbro and the Hub are going to let this cash cow go. Making twilight a princess is just something they are doing to sell a new line of toys.

A. Fighting Is Magic took forvever to make and was non profit but I can see why Hasbro sent out the C&D although the timing was a douche move.B. Was this season supposed to be the last until Hasbro couldn't find a way to reboot the series so they said fark it, let's do another season? I kept hearing this was the last season.

The problem was fighting is magic didn't fit into their IP. That's the reason they canned it, at least officially. The Brony Documentary that DeLancie was funding is also dead at this point, thanks to the fandom's rampant pirating of it making it toxic for any producer to take on as a commercial venture.

Yes and no. The season was only supposed to be 13 episodes, because Hasbro's team didn't think that they would have enough ratings and interest to sell another season. Their initial plan was to make 13 episodes now, and then 13 episodes in the second half of the year to make a complete season of 26. Now that Episode 13 is not going to be the series finale, they are scrambling to change things around and set up a backdrop for the movie. (Probably involving the CMC) and the fourth season would carry on from the movie.

There was a rumor earlier in the year that the series would end and be spun off into a series about the CMC and some background ponies in the future, but that clearly hasn't been confirmed.

I have heard a number of things, some through "unofficial official channels" (basically people who work for or with the show)

The scenario that makes the most sense to me is that this season was short because Hasbro was, and still is, flirting with Di$ney. There was talk of a MLP movie, which apparently they were hoping to have Disney money for... so short season 3 + movie. Then Disney bought Lucasfilm, and apparently that ended the odds of a 2012-13 acquisition of Hasbro by Disney, so they went ahead and started work on a full season 4.

I have NO idea if that is true or not, but many of the factors in that version make sense.

Bronies or not, Hasbro is making MASS bank from MLP right now, and is apparently already ramping up toy production and design for season 4 plus 2013-14 holiday orders, so I think we'll have ponies and bronies a plenty for at least the next 16 months.

So a movie saying Bronies aren't bad is being sabotaged by bronies...IRONY KNOWS NO BOUNDS.

Well, crap, The Mouse could still buy out Hasbro for the LULZ. Makes sense Hasbro isn't farking up what isn't broke.

I've looked up and down this thread, and searched between the lines and behind the furniture, and I can't find any pervs. Just a bunch of bronies enjoying a show that they enjoy, and a few people throwing hissy fits about others liking what they don't like.

Theeng:Derpy is now pretty nonexistant as far as new MLP episodes go, ah well.

Next episode will be the first one I'll try to see as it airs, the butthurt over twilicorn has been delicious.

/As many pony threads as there have been by now, you guys that come in to flame us just seem kinda sad and late to the party.

Which is weird, because I find it's mostly Mid_Mo_I'mNotThePervertHere who comes in and does it regularly. Methinks he doth protest too much (and could very well be a secret fan trying to preserve his imagined "manhood" by looking down on others).
